- It is pretty much a gay truism these days, that radical groups like
- Act-up are *necessary* to make the more mainstream groups look mainstream,
- i.e., without ACT-UP, HRCF would look radical to the bible belt.

- Without Dworkin, is it possible that women like Daly and Griffin would
- be too 'radical' to be seriously listened to?
